The Guardian/AFP: US military admits troops are operating inside Yemen to combat al-Qaida

Defense department publicly acknowledges for the first time that US troops are aiding Yemen’s government to fight al-Qaida affiliated forces

Defense department spokesman Navy captain Jeff Davis said on Friday that a “very small number” of military personnel has in recent weeks been working with Yemeni and Arab Coalition forces to push al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) fighters from the port city of Mukalla.

BTW, so the US has boots on the ground in Yemen,

- fighting al Quida,

- who were armed, trained and supported by the US, Britian, Saudi Arabia, the GCC et al, to fight against The Revolutionary Commitee,

- but instead, grabbed a big chunk of Yemen for themselves,

- while at the same time the US is throwing money, arms, intelligence, tankers, traineds and other support staff at Saudi Arabia and the GCC, to defeat the Revolutionary Committee,

- but the Saudi's the GCC, their Merc's and now US SOF are too bigged down fighting al Quida, to the point that all they can do against the Revolutiknary Committee is to bomb civillians, hospitals and NGO's in Yemen.

The administration report of American boots on the ground is one of their Maskirovkas.

After all for the last 2 falls the White house hoax person (Mouth of Obama) have said Yemen and Somalia are examples of Obama administration successes.
